Mice

Reposted from June 3: I talk about the craziest shit, don’t I? I kid you not. The dirty disease-laden rodents scare the hell out of me. I don’t care how small the little bastards are, I don’t want to touch them. I have been fortunate not to have had to grown up with mice runningContinue reading “Mice”

Making Magic

I was a good chef. Scratch that; I was a very good chef. Like all good chefs, I had my faults. I drank too much. I worked too hard. I ate the worst foods at the worst times. I had a short temper. I was tough on my staff. Although my talent and accumulated skillContinue reading “Making Magic”

The Whole Truth

There is only one. Sometimes we are treated to different interpretations of veracity, but just like Highlander there can be only one. There is the Republican truth. There is the Democrat truth. There is the (insert country here) truth, but really, the only truth that matters is the one you believe in. So how doContinue reading “The Whole Truth”

Going Back to Work

Not me. I’m retired. So is Karen, so there are two less applicants to deal with. Actually, as the vaccination rate climbs, albeit slowly, “Now Hiring” signs are everywhere. The problem is nobody is applying for the jobs. Least not the individuals who are taking advantage of the system to NOT have to go backContinue reading “Going Back to Work”

Stamps

 OK. The postal service wants another three cents added to the price of mailing a letter. That will make it 58 cents. Is there anyone besides myself that does not feel that 55 cents is enough to pay for the service they are presently receiving? I see my assigned  mailperson (it varies male or femaleContinue reading “Stamps”

Reverence

I speak about respect and how I feel reverence is respect to the nth degree. I felt reverence when I went to my first ever Catholic church and mass. I still get the same feelings on Sundays. I felt reverence when I got my first glance of Wrigley Field, all striped and ready for aContinue reading “Reverence”

Peer Pressure

I’ll start off today’s blog with a reading from my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! Today, I include the preface and two short stories. The first story is Winter Trip and reflects the emotion querulous, and the second story, well I have absolutely no earthly idea how it made it into my book. IContinue reading “Peer Pressure”

Thoughts on a Sunday

I woke up this morning to the song Old Habits by Hank Williams Jr. bouncing around my noodle. I fired up a bowl and played the song so the day just got better for me. I used to love watching the old CMT videos. I learned many a song from them. Learning and playing C&WContinue reading “Thoughts on a Sunday”

Is NOTHING Sacred?

Mondays I play a song. Here is an Eagles song. An unruly crowd. Out of control people desecrating an iconic place. Old Trafford, the holiest of places in English football. What the fuck is the matter with you? Who do you think you are, Americans? I much prefer soccer (football) hooligans to the destructive idiotsContinue reading “Is NOTHING Sacred?”

Crime Shows

Todays blogpost will focus on television shows and I’ll hit movies at a later time. Best TV crime shows ever? Here is my take on the subject, understanding it is all a matter of perspective. My list will differ greatly from a millennial, for example, whose idea of “classic cinema” and mine well, you getContinue reading “Crime Shows”
